Focus

The Focus section is an ever-changing curation of available works.

"Wir sind das Volk – We are the people". These words make up the work "Four Words" by Henrike Nauman that inspired the current Focus selection of works by 16 artists: Who is „we"? What is „a people"? Is there any other issue under as much tension and renegotiation these days? The dimensions in which the selected works approach it are as diverse and specific as the situation is complex: from the individual solidarity and stuggles in intimate relationships to the experience of collective participation and community, from the deconstruction of hierarchical role models or populist attemps to the emancipatory education of the public.
